Stories of the Days of King Arthur - Tales of Chivalry and Honor in Arthurian Legends

Charles Henry Hanson

Sinopsis

In "Stories of the Days of King Arthur," Charles Henry Hanson masterfully weaves a tapestry of Arthurian legend, capturing both the splendor and the tragedy of the mythos surrounding King Arthur and his chivalric knights. Written in a rich, engaging literary style, the collection employs a blend of evocative imagery and lyrical prose, drawing the reader into the ethereal world of Camelot. The narratives reflect the cultural milieu of the late 19th century, echoing the Victorian fascination with medievalism and the romantic idealization of the past, while also examining the perennial themes of heroism, honor, and the quest for identity in a morally ambiguous world. Hanson, an avid scholar of Arthurian lore, was profoundly influenced by the romantic poetics of the Pre-Raphaelite movement and the broader revival of interest in medieval literature during his time. His deep appreciation for myth and legend is evident in his meticulous attention to character development and narrative structure, allowing readers to connect emotionally with figures like Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot while simultaneously exploring the rich historical context that inspired these enduring tales. This volume is highly recommended for enthusiasts of literature, history, and mythology alike, providing a vibrant reimagining of the legends that have shaped cultural narratives for centuries. Hanson's stories are not merely retellings; they are invitations to reflect on moral dilemmas as old as time, making this collection a must-read for those seeking both entertainment and contemplation.

Includes...
The Mark of Cain: When a vampire coven attempts to assassinate Cain they fall under the seven-fold curse. They become "wolves." Now, as he's been forced to do many time throughout the centuries, he has to help those who want him dead. After all, you can't have wolf-vamps running loose in New Orleans. But the coven-turned-wolfpack is the least of Cain's problems. The ancient vampire who sent the bloodsuckers to kill him to begin with is out for blood. Can Cain stop him?
The Cowl of Cain: For more than a century Cain wore the cowl. An enchanted infernal object, given him by the Witch of Endor, that prevented him from shifting every full moon. But the cowl demanded blood. It warped his mind, returning him to his murderous origins. If he didn't kill, the cowl would do the opposite, it would reverse his curse, leaving him in werewolf form during the waxing and waning moon. Unwilling to kill again, Cain thought he destroyed the cowl. Until another werewolf appears in New Orleans, always transformed and wearing the cowl, leaving a trail of bodies in its path. When the full moon rises and their roles are reversed, Cain recognizes the cowl-wearing wolf. He's never been so frightened.
